Hi , I am new to this sight and find it to be quite informative. I am 3 days off of 5/500 vic. I was abusing for the past year. About 40mg to 50mg a day. Heavy enough. I woke last night to horrible stomach pains, the worst of all my symptoms. I have had trouble sleeping the past 2 nights, but not that bad. I took hot baths and dont really feel to bad otherwise. I do think a little clearer, but my mind is still craving the buzz. In the past I would have run to the nearest "friend" to get more pills, but I want out. Any suggestions on the best steps to beating this horrible disease? I will look into aftercare, and have a great husband who is willing to help any way he can. Wish me luck. I hope tomorrow is even better than today.
